Dealing with Rejection and the Accompanying Dejection
As I check my email for the umpteenth time for mails from recruiters, I feel my heart beating faster. I see there are seven recruiters who have “shown interest in my profile”.

Watching the poor unable to even manage one meal for themselves makes us realize the value of food. The continuous hard work of medical…
Change the World
What would you change about the world if you had the power? The answer to that question for most of us would be anything between making the world a more beautiful, kind and a better place in any way we can; but isn’t it peculiar that all of us would agree on this one answer…
